As a man of chance, Myles Lacey understood all too well the whims of the universe, and that meant death was a constant in life. The sudden loss of his wife Linda was an inopportune advent but at least it gave back to him the freedom to play underground gambler to his heart's content.
When a losing streak forces him to seek out a loan shark, Myles knows that the stakes are high. But what he doesn't understand is that his personal saviour offers a lot more than mere deliverance from a life of bad decisions and mounting debt. What Jango Ravana offers is The Grief School, and whether he deserves it or not, Myles soon becomes the unwitting pupil.
